"Thanks to this discovery, The New Klondike will be shown in its original presentation at the 28th San Francisco Silent Film Festival taking place Nov. 12-16 at the Orinda Theatre. Throughout the course of five days, 22 programs will be shown with a variety of genres. From beloved classics like Charlie Chaplin's The Gold Rush (celebrating its 100th year anniversary) to the kid-oriented animated program "Koko!," each film will be accompanied by a live musical performance."
"Almost 99 years after the film was made, the festival will debut what's now the most complete version of Beau Geste. Efforts toward its restoration included pulling from the archives of UCLA, the George Eastman Museum and the Museum of Modern art. If that sounds like a lot of work, well, it is. "It's a labor of love to restore these films," Mockoski says."
Discovery of original materials enables The New Klondike to be shown in its original presentation at the 28th San Francisco Silent Film Festival, Nov. 12-16 at the Orinda Theatre. The five-day festival will present 22 programs across genres, from Charlie Chaplin's The Gold Rush (100th anniversary) to the kid-oriented animated program Koko!, with live musical accompaniment for each screening. Restorations include The New Klondike, Cecil B. DeMille's The Affairs of Anatol, and a newly assembled, most-complete version of Herbert Brenon's Beau Geste assembled from UCLA, the George Eastman Museum and the Museum of Modern Art archives. Venue relocation followed Castro Theatre renovations; Orinda meets capacity, projection and transit needs.
